Exactly...the NIL has basically legitimized/legalized the ‘cheating’ that was already taking place, with the NCAA by and large giving passes to it’s blue blood offenders...Bill Self’s program is under investigation, yet Kansas just cut the nets down with barely a mention of it the by the National media...Sean Miller found himself in hot water for the Ayton situation in Tucson, yet here he is, back coaching at Xavier, who will probably be in the Sweet 16 within a couple of years...his former Arizona team suffered nary a hiccup...Bruce Pearl has been busted multiple times, yet there he is, still on the sidelines at Auburn with a perennial top 5 team, while his former assistant coach practically did time. Let’s not even get started on Lincoln Riley and SC, where they could have two different skill position players making nearly $2 million apiece to play collegiate football.
The latest trend figures to be the collegiate ‘holdout,’ popularized by University of Miami SG Isaiah Wong, who through his advisor threatened to enter the transfer portal IF the U and Miami boosters, through a ‘collective,’ did not up his NIL deal in the wake of the Hurricanes landing prized K-State transfer Nijel Pack, not surprisingly with his own massive NIL deal.
Not sure how this helps Cal in the slightest, who like a majority of schools and as Nick pointed out, is far on the outside looking in, as they likely lack both the institutional machinations and leadership to put a proper NIL plan together.
Thanks Nick...good article.
